Diapering

A diaper that's too tight can be just as messy as a diaper that's too loose. To avoid blowouts, leaky messes, and other uncomfortable situations, choose the correct diaper size for your baby.

First, look at the diaper's weight suggestion. Does your baby's weight fall between the numbers listed on the box?

That being said, keep in mind that just like adults, babies have different body types and shapes. Two babies that weigh the same may wear different size diapers. You can try different sizes to find the one that fits the best, but the weight suggestion will give you a good place to start.

One sign that you might be using a diaper that's too small is red marks on your little one's belly, legs, or back near the diaper area. If you start to see these spots on your baby's skin, it's probably time to move up to the next diaper size.

At the most basic, you'll need two essential items to change a diaper:

• Some way to clean your baby's diaper area
• A fresh diaper

The easiest way to make sure your little one's diaper area is clean during a diaper change is with a pre-moistened towelette, like Mustela's Cleansing Wipes.

You might also choose to apply micellar water, such as Mustela's No Rinse Cleansing Water, for extra protection and moisturizing.

If your baby develops diaper rash, apply a soothing product, like Mustela's Diaper Rash Cream 1 2 3 or Liniment, before putting on the new diaper.

• Prepare

Before changing your baby's diaper, get what you'll need within arm's reach. You'll also want to wash your hands.

• Remove The Soiled Diaper

Now, undo the diaper. Cross your baby's legs at the ankles, take ahold of their legs with one hand, and lift their bottom just enough to remove the dirty diaper.

• Clean Your Baby

While keeping their bottom up, set the diaper aside, wipe their diaper area from front to back, and place the dirty wipes inside the diaper.

• Give Them A New Diaper

Slide a clean diaper under your baby's bottom, apply a diaper rash cream if necessary, and then close and seal the new diaper.

• Get Rid Of The Mess

Finally, fold the dirty diaper into a ball, secure it closed with the tape fasteners, and dispose of it in your diaper pail or the nearest garbage receptacle.

Diaper rash is very common, but it can be treated at home and usually goes away in a few days.

Here's what you'll want to do:

• Change your little one's diaper more frequently
• Clean their diaper area well with a gentle, non-irritating, and non-drying wipe
• Let their bottom dry a bit before putting on a new diaper
• Apply diaper cream

For the last step, try Mustela's Diaper Rash Cream 1 2 3 or Diaper Rash Sprayable Cream to help relieve irritation and redness and prevent future rash from developing.
